Avoid parking at Brisbane Airport car parks within walking distance of the Domestic Terminal unless you’re prepared for an additional 15-20 minutes of travel time. Significant traffic congestion is expected, especially on the following dates:
The domestic terminal at Brisbane, otherwise known as Terminal D or T2, consists of two levels:
👷♀️ RENOVATIONS UNDERWAY: Heavy renovations are underway at Brisbane’s Domestic Terminal that may cause delays. To be sure all flights are met, passengers flying domestically should continue to arrive at least 90 minutes before their flight departure.
Brisbane's Domestic Terminal serves several airlines, including Qantas, QantasLink, Jetstar, Tiger Airways, Virgin Australia, and Corporate Air. For domestic flights, we recommend checking in with your airline at least one hour before departure, unless you’ve already checked in online.
Below, you’ll find a list of airlines and their designated check-in desks:
| ✈️ Airlines | 🛄 Check-In Desks | |
| Qantas Flights QF500+ & Qantas Links (Gates 1 - 13 & 5 - 6) | Gates 1 - 25 | |
| Jetstar | Gates 26 - 32 | |
| Tiger Airways | Gates 26 - 32 | |
| Virgin Australia | Gates 38 - 50 | |
| Corporate Air | Gates 26 - 32 |
If you need to transfer between terminals for any reason, you can access the complimentary airport transfer bus operating from both the domestic & international terminals:
Coming out of the Domestic Terminal? Look for the orange bus stop sign towards the Qantas end of the terminal. The bus will drop you off on Level 4 of the International Terminal.
Coming out of the International Terminal? The bus stop is located outside the International Terminal on Level 2. There is signage guiding travellers to the Domestic Transfer bus stop.
Travellers can also use the Airtrain Transfer bus, which runs every 15 minutes during peak times and every 30 minutes during off-peak times. The journey is approximately 5 minutes and tickets are $5 per person and can be purchased at the platform or visitor help desk.
Airtrain's operating hours are:
Need transfers outside these times? Flyparks recommends taking a taxi. Taxi ranks are located outside both terminals.
Flying out of the domestic terminal and want convenient parking? Depending on your preferences, you will find a few car parks within walking distance, with valet services, or with shuttle services.
These car parks include a short, complimentary shuttle ride to and from the airport, and are ideal for budget-conscious travellers as they are the most cost-effective car parks near Brisbane Airport terminals.
🚗TIP: Passengers should arrive at the car park at least 30 minutes before they need to be at the airport check-in desks.

Should you choose Andrews, you can choose from basic exterior cleans to full interior and exterior car wash services for an additional fee, payable on-site.
Andrews is also known for their personalized service, so if you’d like baggage assistance or want to be transferred to the terminals as soon as you check in at the car park, their team is ready to assist you!
For a reliable Brisbane Airport car park for a flight arrival or departure at any time, Andrew’s is your best option!
AIRPARK is the official budget car park for travellers transiting Brisbane Airport. While the car park is primarily open-air, there is an undercover parking option for those who wish to keep their car under shaded cloth bays, but available on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Flyparks recommends booking your park in advance if considering AIRPARK, as bays are known to fill up quickly, especially for those flying from Brisbane's Domestic Terminal.
AIRPARK 2 is another official budget airport parking at Brisbane Airport. This car park is completely open-air, as opposed to the original AIRPARK that offers shaded parking.
AIRPARK 2, like AIRPARK, offers shuttle services to and from the Brisbane Domestic Terminal & Brisbane International Terminal during select hours. It is located off Bert Hinkler Drive.
Located on L3 & L4 of the Domestic Terminal
Located on levels 5-9 of P1 & 1-6 of P2
Located on level 2 opposite Gate 41, accessible after passing through security. Passengers can access this lounge 60 minutes before the first Virgin Australian flight until the last flight takes off.
Located on level 1 close to Gate 22. Passengers can access this lounge before security and utilise the lounge 60 minutes before the first Qantas departure, and up until the last.
